Chapter 87 Han Fei at the end of the sixteenth quarter

The sky was low and cloudy.It was a dull dusk, looking out from the wall of Yunyang Prison, there was a vast field, several little boys were holding weapons made of wood, playing the game of generals and captives, chasing wildly, screaming excitedly Call.There was also a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with braided shofars, extremely beautiful, sitting on a tree not far away, with her feet dangling in the air, dangling comfortably. Li Si looked away, still frowning.He had been here for two hours, but he still hadn't decided to face Han Fei.In his subconscious mind, he hoped to just spend it like this, and it would be best if he could spend it until he didn't have to meet each other.Li Si drank the wine silently, and the warden accompanied him respectfully. He knew that Li Si was upset, and he didn't dare to speak too much, but when Li Si's glass was empty, he quickly filled it up for him.

The jailer suddenly came to report: "Han Fei——Han Fei has had another seizure." Li Si hurriedly followed the jailer to see what happened.In the cramped prison cell, Han Fei was dancing, tearing his clothes, speaking incoherently, pounding the wall and shouting: I am Han Fei.Han Fei's Han, Han Fei's Fei.God, I curse you, how dare you let me suffer this humiliation... Which of you dares to touch me?I'm Han Fei, and I'm the son of Korea.Insufficient to call out, and singing aloud, its meaning is messy and incomprehensible. Sad... practice for another ten years, and enter the Wei and Jin Dynasties...

The jailer said from the side, "It's been like this for several days, and it's probably crazy." The jailer's explanation was an understatement, and he was obviously used to such things. Han Fei sang and cried until he was tired and collapsed to the ground.Li Si watched from across the door, feeling sad in his heart.Torture, despair, humiliation, sensitivity, self-esteem, and pride constituted a ubiquitous collapse, and finally crushed poor Han Fei. At dinner time, the jailer brought fish soup to Han Fei, and said, "This soup is a gift from Tingwei. It is specially cooked according to the flavor of Xinzheng, so as to relieve my son's homesickness."

Han Fei leaned against the corner, his eyes were bloodshot, his skin was rough, and his hands were muddy.He glared at the jailer fiercely, and said, "You have whipped me. You whipped me every day. I am Han Fei, I am the son of Han, and you whipped me." The jailer was too lazy to talk, so he filled a small bowl of fish soup and handed it to Han Fei.Han Fei stretched out his hand to pick it up, but suddenly changed his mind, knocked over the bowl with one palm, and angrily said, "Why doesn't Li Si come to see me? He promised to come to see me." Then he jumped up again, He rushed to the door and shouted, "Li Si, where are you? Li Si, Li Si..."

Li Si listened from a different room, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.The warden watched his words carefully, and carefully suggested, "My lord, do you want him to shut up?" Li Si shook his head, stood up, and said, "No need. Let Han Fei and I settle it face to face." The cell door opened.When Han Fei saw Li Si, he hugged him, laughed and danced.You are finally here. Old Master Xun made a mistake in the book again today. Let me tell you, you can find him to refute it. Li Si signaled the jailer to avoid, then pushed Han Fei away, and said coldly, "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Han Fei smiled and said, "Why are you saying goodbye? Do you still want to go to Xianyang? Why don't you go back to Korea with me." Li Si was not sure if Han Fei was really crazy or pretending to be crazy.If Han Fei was really crazy, it would be a good thing for both of them.Li Si didn't need to feel too guilty, and Han Fei could also feel much less pain.Li Si also smiled and said, "Okay. Let's go back to Korea. Come, let's have some fish soup first." After speaking, serve Han Fei a bowl.Han Fei finished eating in a few bites, praised the deliciousness, and asked Li Si to have another bowl.

At this moment, Li Si could no longer restrain the softness of his knees, fell to his knees, and cried, "Li Si sees that Brother Han is humiliated day and night in prison, unable to save him, and feels self-hate every day. Fish soup is poisonous. You can give Brother Han a settlement. Brother Han can also leave a whole body, and you will not lose your dignity in the end." Before Li Si finished speaking, Han Fei let out a low cry and fell to the ground, his body bent into a bow, his head pressed against the ground, retching desperately.Li Si was anxious and was about to call out loudly, but Han Fei grabbed him and said weakly, "Don't call anyone, just let me go quietly."

Li Si was startled. Han Fei was suddenly so clear-headed. Was he not crazy?Or is it a flashback after poisoning?Li Si didn't have time to think about it. The cruel reality of Han Fei's imminent death had already made him unable to think. He could only bury his head in tears: Han Fei died because of me, God sins me!God sin me! Han Fei smiled wryly, "You don't have to feel guilty. Let me tell you, not only do you not need to feel guilty for killing me, you don't need to feel guilty for killing anyone. The law of the country does not allow personal relationships. If you and I get along easily, I will definitely kill you too. , And there will be no hesitation. The minister will do his best to share with the king, and the king will pay the prince to share with the minister. This is politics, this is business. business is business, nothing personal."

Li Si just sobbed.Han Fei rested for a while, and said again, "I know, you are helpless. It is actually King Qin's intention to want me to die. And the method King Qin used to kill me was actually taught to him by me. That's it. Come on, I should be the one who killed myself. Self-destruction is only ridiculous, why is there such a thing?" Li Si asked puzzledly, "Why did Brother Han say that?" Han Fei's eyes gradually lost their focus, and he murmured, "The third of the "Eight Classics", do you remember?" After being reminded by Han Fei, Li Si suddenly realized.Indeed, in the third of the "Eight Classics" written by Han Fei, there is such a passage: "If you are born to harm things, if you die or hurt your name, you should eat and drink. Otherwise, instead of enmity, this is called getting rid of adultery." It means : Some ministers, living will only hinder the monarch's governance, and directly executing him will damage the reputation of the monarch. Such ministers can be classified as "insidious".To deal with such ministers, the monarch has two ingenious methods.One is to send someone to poison his diet, causing him to die suddenly.The second is to hand him over to his enemy and kill him with a knife.No matter which method is used, it can put the other party to death, and it will not allow people to charge the account to the monarch and thus bear the infamy.

Undoubtedly, in Ying Zheng's mind, Han Fei was such a "coward".Yingzheng's treatment of Han Fei was just taking the medicine according to the prescription, using what he learned now, and repaying him with his own plan.As for Han Fei's complex expression at this time, he didn't know whether he was secretly complacent, everything was in his own hands, or he was laughing at himself. The strategy he summed up to "eliminate adultery" ended up getting rid of himself. Li Si sighed, "It turns out that you already knew that fish soup is poisonous, so you could have skipped it."

Han Fei smiled and said, "If King Qin wants to kill me, he will either send you or Yao Jia. It's better to die by your hands than by Yao Jia."
